Update from the organisation:

Dear All,

Just a brief update to let you all know that things are progressing with the Netherlands tour for 2019.

Meetings are taking place (as you read this) with a number of towns on the route. The reaction from all of the towns thus far has been totally positive and in one case an excited "yes please" was received.

All next week talks will be ongoing with the various police departments involved and the outline route is now nearing completion. Once this has been completed it will be submitted to the authorities for their perusal and comments.
We are delighted at the response of all of the participants and it is fundamental to note that there are 440 persons interested in participating. There being some 175 vehicles registered which does not include the Dutch army collection for the moment.

As things are now progressing, it would be appreciated if you could spread the word with the attached pdf poster.
We are still awaiting the ferry costings and until we have a reply from all of the ferry operators, there is little that can be done with regard to the costings for the moment.

This morning we were informed that the town of Valkenswaard will be permitting us to occupy the main market square in front of the church, which will give us the opportunity for a comparison photograph as per the photo taken in 1944.

Meanwhile for those of you that have ongoing restoration projects, we wish you well.

Kind regards
Garden 75 team.
